How fast do the years go by?

[Tebriel]

Does anyone have a breakdown of how fast the years go by in a game? By that, I mean how many years is a "turn" since it seems to vary by where you are in the game.

Lots, then not.

On normal speed:
4000 BC - 1000 BC 40 years per turn. 75 turns
1000 BC - 500 AD 25 years per turn. 60 turns
500 AD - 1000 AD 20 years per turn. 25 turns
1000 AD - 1500 AD 10 years per turn. 50 turns
1500 AD - 1850 AD 5 years per turn. 70 turns
1850 AD - 1950 AD 2 years per turn. 50 turns
1950 AD - 2050 AD 1 year per turn. 100 turns

Total = 430 turns

There is an .xml file in the assests folder called gamespeed or gamespeedinfo .xml that you can open and view and heck modify. Epic speed has +50% more turns than normal speed and I think normal speed has +50% more turns than quick.

I modded the file to create very few turns - interesting game!

my speed:
4000 BC - 1000 BC 1000 years per turn. 3 turns
1000 BC - 500 AD 500 years per turn. 3 turns
500 AD - 1000 AD 100 years per turn. 5 turns
1000 AD - 1500 AD 50 years per turn. 10 turns
1500 AD - 1850 AD 25 years per turn. 14 turns
1850 AD - 1950 AD 10 years per turn. 10 turns
1950 AD - 2050 AD 5 year per turn. 20 turns

That's even less turns than the demo!

There are 440 turns in a normal game though, not 430. So you must be wrong somewhere.
